In the real world, December means holidays. In the world of TV, you add a word to that: special. Here's a look at some of the season and series premieres this month, but more importantly, the specials. And most of those are holiday specials. And most, most importantly, the Dec. 25 premiere of the latest "Doctor Who" holiday special on BBC America: "The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe."

Remember, I'll be updating this list all month as I find more premieres and specials. If you see that I'm missing something, please leave a (nice and helpful) comment in the comments section at the bottom of the page.(By the way, it's best to view this as a single page. Click that option below.)
